Arlo Guthrie Fall Tour Dates, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone

Press release
Source: Cash Edwards

Currently on his Solo Reunion Tour – Together At Last, Arlo Guthrie, the son of legendary singer/writer Woody Guthrie, and Arlo's wife, Jackie, along with their children and grandchildren, will be featured in Vanity Fair’s November 2007 issue. Fourteen Guthries were photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair’s folk music portfolio which hits the stands mid October. The seventh Guthrie grandchild, Sophia, born to Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion Aug. 9, is just a suggestion but already behind the guitar.

This July, Rolling Stone Magazine declared Arlo’s Alice’s Restaurant one of “The Essential Albums of 1967.” They said, “No one captured hippie politics better than Woody's twenty-year-old son.” In August, Arlo was featured around the world in The International Herald Tribune as a spokesperson of our times as the 40th anniversary of the era of the Summer of Love and the ‘60’s culture arrives.

Arlo Guthrie’s latest CD, In Times Like These (Rising Son #1126), debuted at #2 across the country on the three Folk DJ-L Charts - CD, Artist and Song (“In Times Like These”.) It quickly surpassed the “Best of” collection at Amazon.com, which gives it a five star rating. The critics are resounding in their praise:

“[Arlo] sings favorite originals and traditional gems, set to elegant, simply woven arrangements by Oxford University choirmaster James Burton.” - The Boston Globe

“This recording demonstrates the deep beauty of [Arlo’s] work, simultaneously witty and emotional.” - Creative Loafing

“[Arlo] captures the country’s cultural climate and references commercialism and division in the new title track.” - The Oklahoman

“Guthrie and co-producer George Massenburg have the elements in line to make the most of Burton's arrangements, which underscore and add dimension without drawing attention to themselves.” - No Depression

“… the beauty of In Times Like These comes from a keen song selection and an immensely close communication with UK Symphony director-conductor John Nardolillo.” - Lexington Herald

“All the songs are performed and arranged precisely but the mischievous spirit of Guthrie imbues all of them with its own sense of identity.” www.Americana-uk.com
